Even more, like lets say you drive it 5k miles in 5 years. The resale value goes.... uh... flat? Maybe up a little? Where is the problem. Even if it lost 10% of value (impossible) you are a rich dude who is now down 140k of your 50mil net worth.

No big deal for actual owners. They have plenty of other cars to drive.
Ferrari removing an F40 that they sold from their official registry because they don’t like what their customer did with the car is SO MUCH DUMBER than anything Liberty Walk did.
Considering historical automotive Italian attention to detail: the large and inconsistent gaps between the panels that makes this worse.
If a Focus ST’s suspension was “too stiff even on the track” for someone, I humbly submit that the buyer only actually liked the idea of a track car.
I’m not mad at them for cutting up a Countach. It’s not my jam personally, but cars are objects, possessions. Their owners can do what they want with them, illegal stuff notwithstanding. Hell, if you can get the thing up to a normal ride height, the only bodywork I have beef with is how obvious they’ve made the rivets…
I haven’t read the story of Ferrari removing an F40 from their registry. Their version of papal excommunication.
I don’t know. What if Hertz tries to accuse me of stealing the car after I’ve bought it? Their trustworthiness is sketchy as hell, you know.
Well, it got people to realize that Mahindra Racing is a thing that exists, so... maybe it’s an “all publicity is good publicity” thing?
Yeah, not outrageous for a dealer brake job, definitely not for some (presumable) pretty large brakes and a Maserati badge. **I** wouldn’t spend that, I’d do it myself. But if you think you’re getting away from a dealer for much less than a grand for a full set of brakes on your econobox you are in for a real shocker.…
God bless Dodge for having the wherewithal to have fun with cars. I would be proud to ride into battle on the Fury Road in any of their gloriously stupid horsepower-monsters.
No it doesn’t just affect you. It affects your loved ones, and it affects the first responders, and the clean up crews, and it affects their loved ones too dealing with their PTSD, and it affects everyone’s health insurance too. Scraping up your mangled body after you yeeted yourself through the windscreen, or…
Bezos can fuck all the way off. Get out of my car, you walking, talking dickhead.
There are a fair number of folks like me who are hitting their 40s. We learned to drive manual only to just miss out on the cool new cars (because we were too young) and later, all the cool older cars (sup, Boomers). We still want cool cars! Keep building cool cars, we are finally almost able to afford them!
Classic self-loather? Fined themselves out of their own home, leaving the offending car behind?
“Boulevard: Wide metropolitan roadways with trees and plants on both sides, and often with a center median.”
Unlesss the owner is one of those HOA goblins.
The real story here is that whatever band of HOA goblins is in charge of those streets hasn’t towed the thing or fined it’s owner into oblivion already for wasting parking on a non-running vehicle.
An unmolested 1999 RX-7 Type RS. The Spirit R isn’t available for another couple years, unfortunately.
The only reason I can think of is if the manufacturers cold hearted pragmatic bean counters realize that every Classic they sell you is one less of the newer more expensive more profitable models that they could have sold you. Couple this with Ram being the only one currently doing this and if they didn’t, you’d have…
